Color Club Halo Hues in Cloud Nine

Happy Wednesday! I’ve recently begun to declutter my nail polish collection once again. It is definitely a huge project, and a difficult one at that. While I am a collector and blogger, I also don’t want to own too many nail polishes simply for emotional reasons. I’ve decided to go through one box of polish at a time and destash on a smaller scale. Part of my process includes swatching polishes that I’m unsure whether or not I should keep. I decided to share these polishes with all of you as I continue on this process! Today I’m featuring a polish I’ve never even tried before, and that is Cloud Nine from the Color Club Halo Hues collection.

Color Club – Cloud Nine Color Club – Cloud NineColor Club released its first Halo Hues Collection back in 2013, and I picked up Cloud Nine because I found it really beautiful. I was so excited when I picked it up, but for some reason never used it. Well, I am embarrassed I waited so long! Cloud Nine is a stunning pale pink polish with a holographic finish. It has an excellent formula that is opaque in two coats. The holographic effect is really strong, and definitely one of the best I’ve experienced. I don’t wear holographic polishes often, but I will be sure to reach for this one again soon!

All in all, if you can get your hands on a bottle of Color Club Cloud Nine, I highly recommend you do so! This polish is a couple years old now, so it is a bit more hard to find. Nonetheless, the lesson today is to try every nail polish you buy! I’m so glad I finally tested this one!

Try it on Tuesday: Milani 3D Holographic in Cyberspace

Happy Tuesday! It’s been a long time since I’ve participated in Try it on Tuesday, but I’m back today with a stunning polish! Each week Jilltastic Nail Design asks nail bloggers to use a polish that has been sitting in our collections untried for a while. I happily picked out Milani 3D Holographic polish in Cyberspace! The nail polish community goes crazy for holos, and I had to understand why! Let me show you what all the fuss is about.

Cyberspace is a light blue holographic polish. What is a holo polish, you ask? The easiest way to describe it is picturing a rainbow on your nails! The polish sparkles in the sunlight, and reflects every color you can think of! Remember THESE cool stickers you had as a kid? That’s just like holo polish! When you move your hands, the colors shift and magically change. Typically, holo polish can be really expensive. Layla Hologram Effects sell for around $15, and Color Club Halo Hues can be up to $10. When I heard that the 3D Holographic line from Milani was 75% off at CVS, I just had to get them! So far I am thrilled with Cyberspace!

Cyberspace has a great formula that is fully opaque in three coats. The coats are sheer, but they are easily buildable. I had heard that holo polishes are hard to work with, but I didn’t find that to be the case at all! I am very impressed with the quality of this nail polish, as I have not had good luck with Milani in the past. I’m glad I gave this brand a second chance! Cyberspace is stunning, and I can’t wait to try the other polishes from this collection.

I scored this polish on clearance at CVS for just $1.44, but they are still being sold on Milani’s website HERE for just $4.99! This polish is certainly fabulous and affordable, and it helped me understand the craze surrounding holo nail polish. Make sure you give this trend a try!
